if you're gonna be harvetsing, you should consider not feeding them ANYTHING for 2-3 days before you chop them down.
this will ensure the plants use up all the energy stores so there's no unmetabolized nutrients left in the plant material.
also, it will help the plants/buds dry faster.

as for the dark period before harvesting debate.... I have let it go dark in the bloom room for 48hrs before I chopped, and I couldn't tell a difference between the 48hr dark buds & the no dark buds. 72hrs darkness might be what you need to invest to get the desired dark time results....
30% increase in overall THC increase seems to be misunderstood.

if something at "no dark" has 18% THC, i think it is rather unbelievable to have the THC % jump from 18 to 48....
COULD BE TRUE I AM NOT SAYING ITS NOT.... but maybe the more 30% increase is being misinterpretted???
the realistic 30% increase may look like this: the plant at 18 THC at no dark gains an additonal 30% of the original 18 (ala 5.4%) percent in the 72hr dark period.... so the plant at 18% thc at no dark period actually goes from 18 to 23.4????

i run a perpetual flips in my flower room, so the lights are never off for more than 12hrs at a time. nobody has complained to me my buds could be stonger...

no it takes plants 30days lol wtf 3days ur a little off there buddy..most plants take 30days to break down and use all there energy suagar enzymes etc thats y u should flush for 3-4 weeks and let it completly dry out before harvest..another trick is to change ur light schedule ur last week or two and run ur lights 13-15hours a day so ur plant uses all its energy up

did you think i was saying that 2-3 days flush time? i hope not because thats NOT what i was saying....
i think you are misunderstanding me.... I don't give the plant any fluids (feed or flush) for 2-3 days (after 5-7 days of flushing) before harvest to allow the plants to use up everything left stored in the leaves.

3-4 weeks flushes work fine for soil plants, but IMO they rob you the grower the chance to push your plants for maximum yeild. 10-14 days of flushing in soil is what works for me just fine...

I grow in coco/ebbn flow. I flush my plants for 5-7 days. I PUSH MY PLANTS THRU WEEK 7. Works great for me. i know what I am doing - i spent 9mos "training" in ukiah under a very successful grower/mentor.

you know when you get the beautiful coloring (reds yellows & purples) at the end you're on the right track...

you wanna brag about oaksterdam univeristy training ? and you workin at a cannabis club ?

LOL

but i you wnat to brag, then I'll brag, too. its fun!

I owned and operated a club in LA for a year before I sold it to go up north & train my growing kung fu with the best vendor I worked with (obviously you know from working at a club the vendor traffic is pretty intense...). I recieved 9 mos of isolated one on one training working in/on a 20 light commercial grow before I came back down & started up on my own.

I don't know everything. My mentor will admit to not knowing everything... you do not need to know everything to be a successful grower, only how to be successful : )

Please re read my post before you start throwing shit like a monkey. I did not say I know the thc level, but I do know how stoned I get, kinda like a judge at the cannabis cup awards. You know how they can smoke several buds and tell which is best in different catagories. Well I know I can at least tell if one bud gets you higher than the other.Don't need a thc kit for that. And if this BS 24-72 I don't care how long in the dark method really worked, please we all would be doing it. :twisted:
